Bread Cheese Omelette | Street Bread Omelette | Bread Omelette

Bread Cheese Omelette, one of my favorite street food, so easy to prepare and can be served as breakfast or mild tiffin in the evening or as snack. There are quite different way of preparing this bread omelette, but the recipe that i'm sharing today was inspired from the bread omelette that i used to have from the food stand opposite to my office when i was working in chennai. As i still remember that the food stand had only small gas stove with dosa tava, few small bowl with green chutney, salt & pepper and masala powder, packets of bread & cheese and tray of egss, all in one small stool. That's it, but the bread omelette served there was so totally delicious especially the green chutney spread on those bread omelette takes this simple dish into whole new level !!!

There were only two type of sandwiches available in that food stand such as plain & cheese bread omelette. Back then i was not big fan of cheese stuff, so always had the plain bread omelette. But now i like this bread omelette with the slice of mozzarella cheese in between. Either it has cheese or not, this bread omelette is so tasty with those green chutney. Here in the recipe i have used the green chutney recipe from here without tempering, but you can also use the chaat green chutney, i have tried with chaat green chutney also, that too tastes equally too. So it's really up to you use whatever the green chutney you like.

Crack open a egg in a bowl, add salt, chili powder & coriander leaves into the egg and whisk it till it became frothy.Heat the pan, add the butter, let it melt.Pour the egg mixture into the pan, keep the flame in low. Take a bread slice, dip one side of the bread slice in the egg mixture on the pan slightly, flip the bread to other side and place it on the pan. That way, both sides of the bread have egg coating.Similarly place second slice of bread on other side of the pan, let it cook for a min and then gently flip the egg. Let cook the other side of the bread for a min and then flip again.Spread the green chutney on one slice of bread and place the cheese on other slice of bread. Fold the sides of the egg omelette towards the center of bread and fold again into half.Remove from the place and slice into four or as you wish. Serve it with ketchup on the top.

Notes:

Heat should be low while pouring the egg on the pan. It helps to cook the egg immediately, so you can dip the bread slices in the egg mixture before it sets.

You can make this even without cheese too.

Adjust the chili powder as per your liking.

Instead of red chili powder, you can use pepper powder or chopped chili chilies too.

If you like, you can sprinkle some chopped onions on the top while serving.

The preparation definitely needs some patience at least for me ;-) But always hard work pays. I am sure green chutney and cheese and egg must be a delicious combo. I agree Sandhya, all these small joints come up with innovative and heavenly dishes that other top notch hotels can't offer. Kaiyendhi bhavan oda taste thani dan

What a skillful folding technique this is. We don't eat eggs as is but lately have started making them as my boys love eggs. I have a hard time just flipping the omelette. I wish I can do half as decent job as yours.
